Subject:      SAS/AF: Create Widgets Programmatically
Comments: To: SAS-L@LISTSERV.VT.EDU

Dear SAS-L,

I know I can create a new widget object
programmatically using the _new_ statement in SCL, as
in:

import sashelp.classes;
dcl spinbox_c myspin = _new_ spinbox_c();

Suppose the above code is in the handler for a push
button, so that when that button is pressed, I want a
new spin box to appear at a certain location in the
frame.  Instead, what happens is that I get a hand
icon and a dotted box, asking me to place the spin box
during run-time.

After creating the spinbox object, I've set the
position and size attributes, but that does not
automatically place the object.  Thus, my question is:
how do I automatically "drop" the new object without
the user needing to place it him/herself?

The _refresh() and _update() methods have no effect.

Thanks!
Matt
